Sometimes, I think, learning requires no more than shining a light on what should be obvious; those things that are going on at a subconscious level.

Training is Dead. Long Live Learning.
Ed Monk, CEO of the Learning and Performance Institute, of which I am a fellow, recently said, “Learning is now seen as important; its profile has been raised.” Learning is adaptability to change, and as the perceived rate of change accelerates, of course learning is important. The question that I have for you today is […]
